Hi again and thanku for responding to my last cry for info.
For 3 years I've had a Bulbophyllum lobbii. The problem is that it has
remained the same. No growth, no flowers, absolutely no change at all. Not
even in the roots, they all seem oke but yhere is npo active growth visible.
So any advice would be helpfull
Thanks
Peter

no solution, but can't wait to hear the info on this one-I have a stanhopea
that is the same way, drops a yellow leaf once in a with to say its alive,
but a plastic plant has more action- maybe yell at it

I had the same thing with my bulb lobbii and my solution was to place it
higher in the GH, where it recievs more light, is warmer and I also started
watering it more, Voila. It worked for me.

As to the stanhopea, I had a hybrid called Penelope that I thought I must
have gotten a division with no eyes on it, since I owned the thing for 3 yrs
with no signs of anything, no death, no growth.... inadvertantly I placed it
closer to a misting head where it was more consistently (evenly) moist and
it is sprouting 2 new leads for me. In this plant's case the reason could be
3 fold, the water, I started fertilizing again, or the temp range was better
for it this year so dormancy was broken.

Thanks for referring to the OrchidSafari archives. It does my heart good to
know *someone* somewhere reads them,

Thanks Reka, I keep thinking about getting them(the archives) all in one
place but that's been an uphill battle. Mostly revolving around getting
control of the domain name. Lois says I have control. I say Lois has
control, and - most importantly - the domain name registrar says Lois has
control. So there we sit until *someone* has to pay to re-register the name.
Then we'll all see what happens.

Anyway, Its gratifying to see it cited in 'Orchids' and elsewhere.
